Clsoing the Gap on Hydraulic Leaks
. Swagelok Co. Solon, Ohio. Two-ferrule tube fittings can be installed with a hand wrench and maintain a leak-free seal beyond the burst strength of the tubing. This tube burst in a pressure test at 13,400 psi and the fitting showed no damage. The 316 stainless-steel tube has a 3 /8-in. OD, 0.38-in

Metallurgy makes or breaks tube fittings
surface. The result is an eggshell effect: the gripping front edge collapses during assembly and cannot hold the tubing under pressure. It also reduces the arcing spring effect. Cold working is the only way to increase hardness and strength of Type 316 austenitic stainless steel after annealing
